Originating from the core production area of Tongmu Pass in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, this tea is grown in high-altitude tea gardens above 1,200 metres. The unique cloud and mist climate and Danxia landform soil of this region give rise to a distinctive floral and fruity aroma.
Traditional smoking: Using a pinewood smoking process, the tea absorbs the aroma of pine resin, creating the distinctive ‘pine smoke aroma and longan soup’ flavour.
Innovative Fermentation: Precisely controlling the fermentation process, it retains the rich body of Zhengshan Xiaozhong while enhancing its natural honey-like sweetness.
Handcrafted Refining: Adhering to the traditional standard of picking one bud and two or three leaves, it undergoes 18 meticulous processes including withering, rolling, fermentation, and drying.
Tea colour: Amber gold, transparent and shiny, with a lasting golden rim.
Aroma: Top notes of pine smoke, middle notes of dried longan, and base notes of wild honey blossom.
Taste: Smooth and full-bodied on the palate, with a sweet and mellow aftertaste and a lingering finish. The aftertaste has the unique coolness of high mountain tea.
